Why was Pliablemoose's thread locked?

There was nothing there that called for a lock, at all.

IIRC, Mr. Text Enjoy got his last thread stickied. Oh, the partialness really shows sometimes, guys. How about at least trying to play on a level of fairness and impartiality?

If it were not for two or three forums here at AT, I'd jump ship. The level the mods play on is getting way out of hand.




This thread is getting too off topic.

You're supposed to take Mod issues to PM's so they aren't embarrassed via the exposure of partiality.
RTFR, man.

If this is what you are referring to...

I'll be around elsewhere, just not here.

Seems fair to lock a thread that is trying to serve the purpose of bashing the people who provide the threads existence in the first place 🙂
 
Um...I don't think this deserved a lock either, so what if he's going elsewhere, he didn't name any other forum, and it isn't like AT is going to loose all the $$$ they charge us to post here 🙂
 
I didn't even look at the thread.. but if you post a message on some forum saying that it sucks and you are leaving .. then your thread should be locked.

True dat.
What I find so funny about all these "why" threads is this:
AT is one of the largest forums on the internet. They must be doing something right.
But everyone can run it better than the Mods/Admins here. :roll:
TFNN was started because the forums here were run so poorly. There would be no banning there. That didn't last as they realized that there is something to be said for banning. Will locking be next at TFNN?
😛

implied reference.. his statement about "but not here" should be easy enough

AT does not exist to forward ones followers to other sites..

I have no dog in this fight, but even I can see that there is a "over there is better than here" attitude to the thread. And look at the last post... hahaha..

Anyway... I like pliablemoose, but I am not sure why he posted a thread to say he is leaving here and going there. Why not just do it? Why start a post about it and leave it open to all the here vs. there shots?

I wish PliableMoose would not leave, but I can understand why a Mod would lock a thread like that.

So you came to that conclusion just because he said "but not here."

Ok buddy.

That last post has nothing to do with Pliable. Using post from a different member to make a judgement towards another makes no sense.

I rarely even post in ATOT. I'm usually in GH, Software, P&N, but mostly in GH.

I don't disagree, but I do think that the last post added to the downfall of the thread. Amidst all the pimple farming, where one is more welcome, here vs there... along comes someone else to say how this place sucks. Not attaching that particular post to pliablemoose, but looking at the thread as a whole, it certainly fueled the here vs there and this place sucks atmosphere.

Still... it is my opinion that posting a thread to announce that one doesnt want to be here anymore and is leaving to go elsewhere... while not blantantly imflammatory... still has a kind of 'bridge burning' sense to it that would make me sad from pliablemoose and i think perhaps it would have been better not to do that.

🙁

If you noticed, BrokenVisage seemed to be the one that started it. Although, if you looked at the other members responding to his post, they were doing it in a jokingly matter, hence the emoticons. 🙂

Although it may have not been necessary to start the thread, some people may begin to wonder why the person left. It would have been odd if Jokersmoker just stopped posting. And we all know Pliable. 🙂

Jokersmoker 😀 Damnit, for the life of me, I couldn't remember his username, just that Text Enjoy is so easy to remember. 😀

"sucks" may have been a bit harsh... but when you say you will still be doing the exact same thing.. but just not in this place.. it implies you have found something you consider to be better.. which can be easily considered to be a dis on the place you are leaving..

😕 So lets see here. Since he said he will be around, just not here, it must mean he found a much better forum! The internet is our lives of course! He may have stuff to do outside the intarweb, but thats impossible because our lives revolve around the internet~!!1!1
